Fed up with my back going out on me whenever I tried to help someone move. I sit at a desk all day long and have lost some muscle and gained a great deal of fat. Time to get in shape so I'm not embarrassed when I take my kids swimming.

Started with a friend, we go twice a week and he's been a great inspiration. I always push harder when we work out together, he's much stronger than I am so I feel a need to catch up. He also played football in college so he mixes it up, not really much of a set routine as you can see from my workout history.
